My elk are very respectful and have never been the cause of any complaints at Hampton Inns, other than some noise from guys in late fall. And I can guarantee that they've never left pubic hairs in coffee makers.
I'm very sorry about Mikey. Although he reports to me, he refuses to take any direction whatsoever. We might have to adopt a relationship that focuses more on carrots and sticks.

There was a beautiful young woman knocking on Dovster's hotel room door all night! He finally had to let her out.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A car hit an elderly Jewish man. The paramedic says, "Are you comfortable?" The man says, "I make a good living."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dov just got back from a pleasure trip. He took his ex-mother-in-law to the airport.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been in love with the same woman for 49 years. If my wife ever finds out, she'll kill me!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What are three words a woman never wants to hear when she's making love? "Honey, I'm home!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Someone stole all my credit cards, but I won't be reporting it. The thief spends less than my wife did.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She was at the beauty shop for two hours. That was only for the estimate.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She got a mudpack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The doctor gave a man six months to live. The man couldn't pay his bill, so the doctor gave him another six months.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Doctor called Mrs. Cohen saying, "Mrs. Cohen, your check came back." Mrs. Cohen answered, "So did my arthritis!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Doctor: "You'll live to be 60!" Patient: "I AM 60!" Doctor: "See! What did I tell you?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A doctor held a stethoscope up to a man's chest. The man asks, "Doc, how do I stand?" The doctor answers "That's what puzzles me!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dov: "I have a ringing in my ears." Doctor: "Don't answer!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A drunk was in front of a judge. The judge says, "You've been brought here for drinking." The drunk says "Okay, let's get started."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A bum asked a Jewish fellow, "Give me $10 till payday." The Jewish fellow responded, "When's payday?" The bum said, "I don't know! You're the one that's working!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do Jewish divorces cost so much? They're worth it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why do Jewish men die before their wives? They want to.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wish my brother would learn a trade, so I would know what kind of work he's out of.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Harvard School of Medicine did a study of why Jewish women like Chinese food so much. The study revealed that this is due to the fact that Won Ton spelled backward is Not Now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Why don't Jewish mothers drink?
A: Alcohol interferes with their suffering.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Have you seen the newest Jewish-American-Princess horror movie?
A: It's called "Debbie Does Dishes."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Why do Jewish mothers make great parole officers?
A: They never let anyone finish a sentence.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: What's a Jewish American Princess's favorite position?
A: Facing Bloomingdales
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A man called his mother in Florida, "Mom, how are you?"
"Not too good," said the mother. "I've been very weak."
The son said, "Why are you so weak?"
She said, "Because I haven't eaten in 38 days."
The son said, "That's terrible. Why haven't you eaten in 38 days?"
The mother answered. "Because I didn't want my mouth to be filled with food if you should call."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Jewish boy comes home from school and tells his mother he has a part in the play. She asks, "What part is it? The boy says, "I play the part of the Jewish husband." The mother scowls and says, "Go back and tell the teacher you want a speaking part."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: Where does a Jewish husband hide money from his wife?
A: Under the vacuum cleaner.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did you hear about the bum who walked up to a Jewish mother on the street and said "Lady, I haven't eaten in three days."
"Force yourself," she replied.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: What's the difference between a Rottweiler and a Jewish mother?
A: Eventually, the Rottweiler lets go.

Post 28000, which got you listed in the historic esteemed milepost documentation, was duplicated exactly 30 days later at post 28997, part of the padding to try to get listed again for post 29000. In light of this unfolding scandal, I think the keepers of the archive need to reconsider not just milepost 29000 but also 28000.
Crossposting is a violation of the TOS. It needs to be examined whether posting the same thing twice in the same thread is equally culpable.

And, you all know I never look at post counts or mile posts...Oh well

If Mikey gets sent to jail, do the inmates have access to the internet?

Merci, merci. Good to be here.
Looking at the current state of affairs, dare I call it a scandal, surrounding post #29000...it seems ironic or perhaps hypocritical to fault him for working the system in order to hit that magic number. We praise him for a good milage run, but scold him for a forum run?
I myself was just thinking of a nice posting blitz! Here's my itinerary: DL Forum Lounge-S.P.A.M.-Travel with Children-Delta Board of Directors To Vote On Formal Merger Talks With UA or NW.
Maybe the powers that be should make some particularly meaningful threads have a value of 1.5 posts per entry. Silly to have to suffer through all these posts to reach status through BAK (butt at keyboard) posting. Isn't there a FT co-branded AMEX card that will let me rack up my post count without actually engaging in witty banter or helpful discussions?
Enough of wondering what the Medallion Marketplace holds (SkyMall Factory Seconds), I say there needs to be a companion thread devoted to finding out what the mysterious Coupon Connection holds for those dedicated FT'ers!

There are some mitigating circumstances here and Mikey has exhibited a bit of remorse.
So we'll take that all into consideration at the upcoming hearing.
